Dear John:

I discovered the enclosed in my files and thought they should be deposited with Algoma College. It could prove useful in cross-indexing with existing information. I am uncertain as to officiating clergy after 1930's -could have been Principal Charles Hives. For some reason clergy became somewhat lazy in recording the necessary information.

Yours sincerely,

J

The cemetery was built on land donated by William and Sarah Stratton, originally of Sandwich, who owned the adjoining lot between the Shingwauk School and Shannon Road. Stratton was born in 1816 in England. The cemetery was consecrated on the 2nd of June 1876 by Bishop Fauquier. Land to the west of the cemetery was taken from the Shingwauk School and consecrated by Archbishop Thorneloe on the 9th of August 1925.

William Sahgucheway accompanied E.F. Wilson to England in 1879. He cleared the boulders in preparation for the spring burial of Bishop Fauquier in 1882. Suffering from tuberculosis he caught a cold and died before their bodies arrived.
